Meryl Streep drops in on British parliament
BEIJING, Jan. 20 -- Meryl Streep dropped in on parliament（议会,国会） on Wednesday to watch Britain's top politicians do battle, studying for a movie role as former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher 1.
The 61-year-old double Oscar-winner will star in "The Iron Lady," a film that recalls the days leading up to the 1982 Falklands War -- a conflict in which Britain repelled 2 an Argentine invasion of the remote, disputed territory(领土,领域) in the south Atlantic Ocean.
Success in the war improve Thatcher's popularity after the early 1980s recession and contributed to her Conservative party's 1983 election victory.
Streep, regarded as the world's greatest living actress for roles as varied 3 as "The Deer Hunter," "Sophie's Choice" and "The Devil Wears Prada", witnessed Prime Minister's Questions -- a showcase weekly televised event in parliament where British leaders are grilled 4 by opposition 5 politicians.（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
